He is the winner of many international competitions, and has played as a soloist with symphony orchestras in Finland and internationally, collaborating with conductors such as Sakari Oramo, Osmo Vänskä and Leif Segerstam. Currently he plays principal cello at the Finnish National Opera, and is frequently invited as guest principal at the Copenhagen Opera and Opera Australia.
